Delilah (song). Delilah it's a new track released by the british band Florence + The Machine, composed and written by Florence Welch and Isabella Summers. The song is based on the biblical story of Samson and Delillah. Inspired on Florence's time in Jamaica when she was waiting for a call of her boyfriend who unfortunately did not call, burning a frustation inside of Florence, tired of the same lie. So she called her best friend and producer of their new album (How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful) and then, as girls best do, they started to complain while reading the bible and the song came by itself. Looking for a way to cut their boyfriends's hair, screaming out a subtle way of complaining, running for freedom, holding on for a call. Learn how to dance like Delilah in the new gospel/indie pop track of Florence + The Machine.
